Hello! I am interested in reading more about the institution of military slavery, which produced such famous soldiers as the mamluks and janissaries. I have read “Slave Soldiers and Islam” by Daniel Pipes.

Is there any more recent research on this issue? I would also be interested in sources from Middles Eastern scholars.

I am mostly intrigued by social history (how these people lived and their relationships with other people) but military/political history is fine as well.

Thanks in advance!
